Close to the town of Darby, MT where the Yellowstone Ranch from the show can be seen. Excellent shopping in Stevensville, Darby and Hamilton. And then there is simply….relaxing.

Wonderful cottage with a spectacular view!! Everything we could think of was provided for us , very comfortable to live in. Almost looked brand-new! Cozy, and basically secluded, neighbors were not close. Two gourmet restaurants in Stevensville and other good restaurants. The town also had some wonderful visiting sites - St. Mary's Mission church museum, Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge were both great. Also some fine shopping stores available downtown. Not far from many towns with other fun things to enjoy. Especially interesting to us the CSKT Bison Range Wildlife Refuge in Charlo, Montana. Host Brenda was quick to answer any of our questions with a friendly attitude and voice. The best VRBO we have stayed at during our time booking through this agency!!!

My wife and I came out to Montana for a family wedding in Florence. The cottage turned out to be the perfect stay! The house is well constructed with great amenities. Beautiful polished concrete floors, great appliances, comfortable sofa & bed, nice bathroom, and lighting. Perhaps the best was the incredible scenic views of the mountains from the porch and through the windows. Wi-Fi and TV service allowed us to watch our hometeam football baseball teams. The cottage was well equipped with anything you required. Brenda is a phenomenal host! She organized snacks & bathroom necessities in baskets. The cupboards were conveniently well stocked with evo, salt & pepper, spices, etc. Just really well thought out. For us, it was a perfect 10.

Private, quiet, clean, comfortable and a gorgeous view of the Bitterroot mountains. The host ensured we had everything needed to make us feel at home. Location was perfect for us as my son, d-i-l and four grandkids live within 3 miles and staying here gave us respite from a very busy household! We look forward to staying here again.

Absolutely gorgeous place. The view is absolutely stunning. Very quiet and peaceful and not too far from the mail road. All amenities you would need for a very comfortable stay. And you can tell the host pays a lot for attention to the details and she is very responsive to messages. You may even be as lucky as we were to have a pair of male deer hang out on the front lawn just feet away!

Our stay truly could not have been better. My family lives in the area so we will 100% be booking this place each time we visit. We met Brenda and she was even so kind to have given us some produce from the garden! Truly the hospitality could not have been more superb and Brenda really has thought of everything from a well stocked kitchen to a full basket of convenient travel items (tissues, toothpaste, etc.), to a really comprehensive notebook inside providing a ton of information about things to do and see on the area. Thank you for such a fantastic stay, Brenda!!

The only thing I would add for us is a TV in the bedroom area...but this is hands down one of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed at! They had everything you could think of! We will be staying here again!

One of the TOP places I have ever rented
My husband and I travel extensively and frequently rent short term properties. This is truly one of the BEST we have ever rented. Brenda had thought of everything. The cottage is adorable. The bed was comfortable. The views are spectacular. We stayed for 10 nights and were sad to leave this little slice of Heaven.

5 Stars – Peaceful Retreat with Unforgettable Views
Our stay at Brenda's one-bedroom cottage was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the stunning and truly underrated views of the Bitterroot Mountains. Surrounded by wildlife and serene quiet, it was exactly the peaceful getaway we were hoping for.The cottage itself was beautifully maintained and stocked with everything we needed—and then some. Thoughtful touches like mini toothpaste, deodorant, new toothbrushes, full-sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a basket of snacks made us feel instantly at home. The appliances were updated, including a great gas stovetop and an outdoor grill, which we made full use of.Though the property owners live nearby, they were never intrusive. In fact, they were friendly and engaging—my husband really enjoyed chatting with them about the land and the produce they grow. It added a nice personal touch to the stay.While the road to the property isn't paved, the dirt road was well maintained and easy to drive. It took just 15 minutes to get to the ranch where I was taking a course, and the drive was simple and scenic.There’s also a washer and dryer on site, which was a huge plus after a weekend of shooting and outdoor activities. We brought our bows and had plenty of space to practice shooting our targets right on the property.Brenda’s communication was top-notch. She sent access info in a timely manner, checked in to make sure everything was going wel
